| Hi guys i have finally contacted everybody and got positive responses of interest from all of you. So we we will have the following people playing in this game. - Spoiler:
JD Chris Gaz Lance Doc
Please post here and say hello. For those of you not familliar with how i run games i use these forums for the following things; - Spoiler:
Setting up game times and confirming player attendance. Recording characters and tracking progresion. Between game in character chat and planing.
So please try to check the forums regularly. I would all so like to use this thread to start planing you're characters. Some info on the game: - Spoiler:
As i have told many of you the game will be set inside a hive and will heavly involve investigation, conspiricy, cloak and dagger style shadow operations and general urban survival so it would be best if your characters are built accordingly so you dont feel useless. Thats not to say there wont be combat it just wont be kick in the door combat and kill everything that moves. The game will be semi sand boxy but there will be a main goal that you are working towards.
House rules for character creation. - Spoiler:
So far i have the following house rulles to be used in character creation; Characters start with 1000xp. Game will be set in the Calixis sector but characters must not be from Scintilla and should not have spent much or any time there. The following career's are not allowed. - Adepta Sororitas No career double ups - I dont want more then one of each career so you guys should throw out what you would like to play and decide between you who gets to play what if people want to play the same thing.) Standard starting equpiment.
Thats all my house rules for character creation right now but i may add or change as time goes on.
So guys please start posting the careers you would be interested in playing and all so any questions you have. I am aiming to start the game in the next month but i will confirm an exact date soon. All so if you could let me know what days and times you are generally availible to play so i can work out a good time to set our games for. EDIT:Another thought, i will add a good website for info and you guys should let me know if you ahve others. http://darkreign40k.com/drjoomla/ JD - Adept Chris - Psyker Gaz - arbitrator Lance - Scum Doc - Tech Priest

| A short over view of the Career paths
Adept - A career path devoted to knowledge, logic, and analysis, though they are not very effective in combat and not always good in social interaction.
Arbitrator - Members of the Adeptus Arbites, the elite Imperial Law upholding organisation, are effective both in investigative skills and combat.
Assassin - These skilled killers excel in both combat and stealth skills
Cleric - Clergymen of the Ecclesiarchy train in a wide range of abilities but excel at motivation and leadership
Guardsman - Although this class usually brings to mind members of the Imperial Guard, it also applies to mercenaries and other soldiers; they are skilled warriors who can also operate vehicles
Imperial Psyker - This class represents an individual with psychic powers, able to channel the warp to accomplish a wide variety of things.
Scum - Criminals, outcasts, thieves, and other miscreants, this class has a variety of useful skills involving stealth, infiltration and social interaction with less honest members of Imperial society.
Tech-Priest - Skilled with machines and technology, they are members of the Cult Mechanicus | |

| Just did a quick read of the first half of the book. It mentions that my character should have a believable reason to go adventuring. So I was thinking, well, smuggler, scum, dodgy bastard, bit of a rat, bit grey too ... more than likely the Inquisitor who found him did so at some expense, or a bargain. Perhaps Alaric gets a clean data-slate; being in his 50s that's probably quite the slate. Maybe Alaric got careless and was caught - something that pisses him off to no end, because he's *never* been caught. Until "that damned Inquisitor." Or else, being in his 50s, his reputation is what brought the Inquisitor's attention. Something along these lines would suit the character I think.
Also I'm thinking of starting with enough Insanity Points as to nullify Fear Effects on the sorts of things he has already encountered in his five decades of smuggling. Seeing as this is a small campaign I figured I could afford to be a little unsettled to start off with. Say about, 21? | |

| Reading the GM's section of the book Lance Naughty naughty!1 haha seriosuly tho i will re read the insanity rules but it shouldnt be to much of an issue if thats the way you would want to go. All so thinking about how the iquisition would convince your character to work for them is a good thing. You should all have a suitable reason, but i will leave it up to you to decide what that is. | |

| Heh, sorry, just picked it up and started flipping throuh pages. I haven't read all of it, just the parts particular to what I'm tryna do. Mostly I'm still tryna absorb the world of warhammer itself. Inasmuch as I can within the timeframe.
As for his "motivation" I'll probly throw a dart at the choices I've already put up.
For the moment I'm going to be ill. Caught something off dad this week. Hopefully I'll be right by next Saturday, if that's still the kickoff date? | |
